Laura Steins
An American Tragedy
Oh...oh my...God...I...I just can't believe this tragic story.
Poor Laura Steins trying to make ends meet on a mere $300k/yr.
It's so awful. I...I'm worried she might lose "Birch Hill," her mansion or WTF ever it is.
And what of little Bipsy who might not get her designer phone? And her fifth-grader may not be able to buy those $115 jeans?
Oh, the humanity! Thank God the Washington Post--formerly an actually respectable newspaper--put this story on the front page, else we'd never have known about it.
C'mon, gang...maybe we can take up a collection to help out these poor folks who can barely afford their $40k/yr nanny, and who...oh, God, it's almost too awful to type...but...may have to cut back on the gardener...
I'm sorry. I just can't write any more on this. It's just too awful...
God bless you, Laura Steins. You are a genuine American hero.
Here is Laura’s wedding announcement, some 17 years ago. (She may be fibbing about her age, since she was 31 on November 8, 1992, which would make her “48″

Eddie, the absent husband has the required yuppie degrees. From the bio of her parents, she has long pockets to draw on.
